‘Head’line video from the front line

The Plymouth Evening Herald’s web site today published video recorded using a state-of-the art camera strapped to a reporter’s head, in what could be a trial run for solo war reporting from Afghanistan.

Maritime and defence correspondent Tristan Nichols had a small (what we used to call lipstick) camera attached to his head feeding a portable media recorder, whilst he followed Plymouth squaddies to Sierra Leone.

The result – some brilliant first hand footage, including an ambush on a patrol.
